Correlation between thrombopoietin and inflammatory factors, platelet indices, and thrombosis in patients with sepsis: A retrospective study

Figure 1 Correlation analyses between thrombopoietin levels and indicators. A: Interleukin (IL)-21 (r = 0.362, P < 0.001); B: IL-6 (r = 0.385, P < 0.001); C: High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (r = 0.531, P < 0.001); D: Platelet count (r = -0.177, P = 0.012); E: Creatinine (r = 0.219, P = 0.002); F: D-dimer (r = 0.453, P < 0.001); G: Prothrombin time (r = 0.311, P < 0.001); H: Fibrinogen (r = 0.438, P < 0.001); I: white blood cells (WBC) (r = 0.176, P = 0.013); J: Hemoglobin concentration (r = -0.209, P = 0.003). TPO: Thrombopoietin; IL-6: Interleukin-6; IL-21: Interleukin-21; hs-CRP: High-sensitivity C-reactive protein; PLT: Platelet count; Cre: Creatinine; DD: D-dimer; PT: Prothrombin time; FIB: Fibrinogen; Hb: Hemoglobin concentration.
